Help with modeling / suggestion

Hi all, I’ve been working on this plan set forever and I have a few (urgent) questions. It’s been tough: maybe someone can offer some tips… 

 

1. is there a way to automatically create elevations for EVERY room, where it also neatly exports them into a layout sheet? 
- if so, what layer do I do this in

- is there a way to specify labels so my contractors see the labels and coordinating labels in the layout sheet? 
- what plan set / elevation sets do you find to be the most “clean” and easy re: the look vs what I have referenced below? 



2. I have spent hours and hours on this entryway. I just cannot find a solution ie walls aren’t connecting because there are so many doors and windows and it is a furred wall that like goes in layers, nothing is working. Any advice on how to build? Note the plan vs elevation… 

- lastly, I want to drop the ceiling and incorporate an inset dome. I know how to make a tray ceiling, but not one with a circular, inset dome 

 


thank you so much

For the dome, I would just create it as a symbol that cuts a hole in the ceiling.  I built this one using a 3D sphere, made a smaller copy and then subtracted it out of the bigger one, and then cut it in half by subtracting a larger box.  You then convert it into a symbol and set it to be from the ceiling.  I used the tool to edit the cutout shape in plan view and used the fillet tool to make the cutout match the circle.  All in all, it was easier than I thought.
